stopped the Tiazac now on to coreg Maybe/Questions

[msanxiety]

ok they say I have PVCs i have no clue!!!! I stopped the tiazac after about 7 days and my blood pressure has gone lower than when i was on it and i am still very dizzy.........heart rate is in the 70s to 100s..My dr said go ahead and start the coreg,and to take it only when things are over a 100.Well my pharmasist told me that coreg is a drug that needs to be taken daiely not as needed so im so confused.This dizziness is scaring me i feel kinda confused and like i havwe been hit in the chest hard but i havent.The cardolgist says my heart is fine and its mainly my anxiety.Has anyone had such bad dizziness before.The pahrmaisist says my body needs to adjust to getting off the tiazac...has anyone heard that before? Im need ing some advice as my cardiolgist saw me last week and i told him about the dizziness and he said stop the tiazac well i stopped it and still dizzy,Im wondering if its one of my other meds.THanks to anyone who might anxwer

I'm not sure about the Coreg dosing. Like I said, my Dad took it for years and it helped him quite a bit. When I first stated the Diltiazem I was really dizzy for the first week (I couldn't drive the car safely, kind of bounced off the hallway walls at home) but then it eased off.

Why are you dizzy now after being off the med for almost a week? I don't know. Have you started any other meds just recently besides the tiazac? I've never dealt with anxiety so I'm not sure if that would cause dizziness. There must be others on this board that have some experience with it and would know.

I do know some anti-arrhythmia drugs can be used as a "pill in the pocket" way, that is just take one when your heart acts up and won't settle down. Diltiazem is one.

You could try calling your cardio's office and ask about the conflicting information you're getting about how to take Coreg. You need some clear answers.
